Battery

Air filter and passenger compartment filter


Oil filter
Par ticle emission filter (Diesel)
Unless other wise indicated, check these components in accordance with the ser vicing booklet and according to your engine.
Other wise, have them checked b
y a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
The batter
y does not require any
maintenance.

However, check that the terminals
are clean and correctly tightened,
particularly in summer and winter.
When carrying out work on the battery, refer to
the "Practical information" section for details of
the precautions to be taken before disconnecting
the battery and following its reconnection. Re
fer to the ser vicing booklet for
details of the replacement inter vals
for these components.
Dependin
g on the environment (e.g.
dusty atmosphere) and the use of the vehicle(e.g. city driving), replace them twice as often
if necessary(refer to the "Engines" section).
A clogged passenger compar tment filter may
have an adverse effect on the performance
of the air conditioning system and generateundesirable odours.
Re
place the oil filter each time
the engine oil is changed.
Re
fer to the ser vicing booklet for
details of the replacement inter val
for this component. The
presence of this label, in par ticular with
the Stop & Star t system, indicates the use of a specific 12 V lead-acid battery with special
technology and specification, for which the
involvement of a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
wor
kshop is required when replacing or disconnecting the battery. Failure to observe this recommendation mayshor ten the life of the battery. Th
e start of saturation of theparticle filter is indicated by the
temporary illumination of this warning lamp
accompanied by a message in the multi-
function screen.
As soon as the traffic conditions permit,
regenerate the filter by driving at a speed of at
least 40 mph (60 km/h) until the warning lampgoes off.
If the warning lamp stays on, this indicates a low additive level.

On a new vehicle, the first par ticlefilter regeneration operations may be accompanied by a "burning" smell, which is perfectly normal.
Following prolonged operation of thevehicle at very low speed or at idle, you may, in exceptional circumstances,
notice the emission of water vapour at the exhaust on acceleration. This does not affect the behaviour of the vehicle or the environment.

pads
Brake wear depends on the style
of driving, par ticularly in the case
of vehicles used in town, over shor t
distances. It ma
y be necessary to have the condition of the brakes checked, even between vehicle services. Unless there is a leak in the circuit, a drop in
the brake fluid level indicates that the brake pads are worn. The
gearbox does not require any
maintenance (no oil change).
Refer to the servicing booklet for the
details of the level checking interval for this component.















Only use products recommended by CITROËN or products of equivalent
quality and specification.
In order to optimise the operationof units as impor tant as the braking system, CITROËN selects and offers very specific products.
To avoid damaging the electrical units, the use of a high pressure washer in the engine compar tment is strictly prohibited.
The gearbox does not require any
maintenance (no oil change).
Refer to the ser vicing booklet for
details of the level checking inter val for this component.
Electronic gearbox
The gearbox does not require anymaintenance (no oil change).
Refer to the servicing booklet for
details of the checking interval for
this component.
For information on checkin

or a qualified workshop.
Brake disc wear
Manual parking brake

If a loss of effectiveness of this system is noticed, the parking brake
must be checked, even between
tw
o services.
Checking this system must be done by aCITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
